"Morgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelists of the last century." - The Boston Book Review. "Morgan turns the stories of prosaic lives into page-turners." - The News and Observer. "From the author of Gap Creek - an international bestseller and winner of the Southern Book Award for fiction - comes the gripping story of two brothers struggling against each other and the confines of their 1920's Appalachian Mountain world. The Powell brothers, Muir and Moody, are as different as Cain and Abel. Muir is an innocent, a shy young man with big dreams and not the slightest idea of what to do about them. Moody, the older and wilder brother - embittered by the death of his father, by years of fighting his mother, and by his jealousy of Muir's privileged place in the family - takes to moonshine and gambling and turns his anger on his brother. Muir escapes, hoping to find something - an occupation, a calling - to match his ambition. Through it all their mother, Ginny, tries to steer them right, all the while remembering her own losses: her husband, her youth, and the fiery sense of God that once ordered her world. When Muir discovers his purpose in life, the consequences are far-reaching and irrevocable: a community threatens to tear itself apart, and his family is forever changed. All that's left in the aftermath are the memories of a new, wiser man. This Rock is Robert Morgan's most ambitious and accomplished novel yet." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
